Alaine brought me home. Her driving scares the shit out of me. She has no peripheral vision in her right eye due to her surgery. She hugs the line and I think we are going to hit oncoming traffic. I grabbed the “Oh, Shit!” handle and held on tight. My knuckles were white.
After she brought me home, we sat in the car for a bit. She left the car running with the air conditioning on high. It felt so good but I was growing cold.
“Did you have a good time?” she asked.
“Yes, I did, doll. I had a good time.” I replied.
I was now shivering due to the air conditioning. I am not used to it. She turned it down.
“You have a beautiful voice and talent. I want you to know that.” She replied.
“Thank you.” I said modestly, “I know my voice is not what it used to be.”
“Well, you do. You should use it more often.” She responded.
I blushed and played the shy guy. I am not used to positive comments like that. I haven’t sung in years.
“Well, let me run and head to bed Alaine. I am tired and feeling so sleepy. Thanks for letting me go with you tonight. It was a lot of fun.” I replied.
She gave me a big hug and kiss and I stepped out of the car and shut the door. I walked to the house with a certain cocky step in my stride. I felt I could take on the whole world. She pulled out of the driveway and headed home.
“Good night gentle woman and know that a man cares about you very much.” I thought to myself as I opened the door and she pulled out of the driveway. I was soon asleep and slept until this morning.
